There has to be some grain of truth in it, however small, in order for it to be funny, doesn't there? I have also heard it said that in any paranoia is some small grain of truth, though I am not sure it is so in every single instance. I have not looked that site over as I am not into spending my internet time reading satire, as funny as it is, but my guess is a lot of these people are aspies, just as a lot of the comedy writers on the show the Big Bang, I mean, who hates religion more than an aspie (unless it is their special interest, as it is mine)? I am on the internet and this site defending religion, though not fundamentalism.

It is very vulgar, so don't watch it on the internet unless you are into that, but the Comedy Central Joan River's roast is hilarious and hard core outrageous.. Some of the stuff people said right to her face--Wow! And those people love and admire her and are her friends and cohorts in comedy....

It is unlikely that more people who do not already hate aspies (which I am not sure that many people even do) will hate them because of this....it is more likely aspies behavior that makes some people not like them, not that this is necessarily right...and some of these people writing on there are probably on WP...

And that list right in the beginning of 31 characteristics is for some reason really funny, the way it is done with the bold print on some of it--I cannot figure out how it works and why he put bold print on the stuff he did, but it is some kind of skill he employed in doing that, maybe how it affects the brain, so something about timing, that makes it even more funny...and a lot of it is true about me--ha ha...and people are making this kind of satire about themselves on WP already....though not about the killer stuff, but a lot of other stuff...poking good fun at themselves...I have seen it...

Personally I am not particularly into comedy though I enjoy it when it comes up and if someone drove me up to the club entrance and payed for the show and my drinks I would gladly go,...but I am more into enquiry...as too many people are suffering and I do not want to waste my life laughing though a good laugh can hit the spot. I would rather go to a good discussion about religious symbolism anytime....

It does strike me that many if not most or even all of the participants on that entire site are probably aspies. The humor just has a cutting edge aspie flair to it, and the whole endeavor does seem to be bizarrely well designed.




Seriously? You are just clueless aren't you. Time after time you make statements mischaracterizing misrepresenting us. This statement is just offensive. I have been on WP for several years and I have never seen one person using that kind of offensive humor. Yet here you are saying most or all of the people on that site are Aspis. I used to question your comments about being self diagnosed brain-damaged but I think after this, you've removed all doubt. Cutting edge Aspi flair? WTF are you talking about? :roll:

A lot of you are saying this is parody, but have you guys actually read the comments on that thread? Parody is making fun of someone by copying and perhaps slightly exaggerating their words or actions. But who are these people parodying with this Aspers thread? Are they parodying a church with these comments? I have never heard a church say anything like this about Asperger's. I have never heard anyone say anything like this at all. So when these people are the ones producing the most offensive hate filled comments that any of us have probably ever seen it is not parody, it is just a bunch of bigots calling their hate speech parody to try to make it okay.

I just don't understand why this is okay. If someone put up a website saying "murder all black people because they are subhuman" would you be pissed off, then all of a sudden change your mind and think it's funny because they add the disclaimer "*this is parody"?

Let me show you a quote of one of the comments on that thread. Do any of you think this is actually funny?

There seems little point in discussing or quoting material from the Landover Baptist Church site, some of which is clearly seen as offensive by WP members, because doing so will very likely cause further offence here.

Ultimately, issues with the content of that site will need to be addressed somewhere other than our forums and consequently, this thread is being locked.
